"Disabled Si..... painting brake calipers"
damn.......








oh my bad we are painting my brake calipers











I finally decided to paint my brake calipers since im off work thursday and friday and with the help of my buddy (moderator) ErichPryde




^ see him bending over JUST KIDDING



^ Erick is the Mr. DIY of wichita kansas



My car is currently sitting at Erick's garage since lastnight. he let me use his garage for this project and gave me a hand. i dont think i could do this without his help.

MORE PICTURES TO COME...

after erick gets off work he will pick me up and head over to his house and finish this project. i will take more pictures and post here so to be continued....

I think if you had taken the parts away from the car, you would not have had to newspaperize the whole front side =\

Why didn't you use a paint brush? That method is way more efficient.

1. Lasts longer
2. Don't have to remove calipers
3. Don't have to flood your car with newspapers

If I ever painted my calipers, I'd paint them black. I've always wanted red ones but EVERYONE has red. I think black would look cool.

For now, I'm happy with stock sliver... blends in nicely. I think yours will look great though when you're done with them!!!
